you see, madam speaker, the justice department is also in court today suing texas claiming texas voter i.d. law disenfranchises people. it seems to me the law would only disenfranchise fraudulent voters. never mind the supreme court has already upheld voter i.d. laws. madam speaker, the d.o.j. just ignores the supreme court decision it is doesn't like and continues its war against texas. holder is inconsistent. he believes in securing and photo i.d.'s for people when he speaks, but rejects valid security and i.d.'s for people when they vote. security is important. security prevents unauthorized individuals from entering an auditorium or those that shouldn't enter the auditorium or shouldn't vote. but the d.o.j. doesn't care about being hypocritical. the d.o.j. is once again on the wrong side of justice. that's just the way it is. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from rhode island seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized. >> last week i visited with seniors who live at willfred manor in island. they as

i yield one minute to the gentleman from texas, mr. farenthold. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. farnltehold: thank you, mr. speaker. our job as representatives is two-fold. we lead and we listen. if we think back to the last election that swept a republican majority in the house, a lot of the surveys says that was a result of the public's dissatisfaction with this law. we voted to repeal all parts of it multiple times and will continue to do so. we conducted an online poll, not scientific but showing that 79% of the folkbacks in south texas are opposed to this law. i'm looking forward to voting to repeal it again as i'm sure many of my colleagues are. i do want to take a second to address something the gentleman on the other side of the aisle mentioned, we don't have a c.b.o. score of this i would imagine the cost to the federal government, a good chunk of it, is for gon revenue. it makes no sense that undoing something costs the government in the way of spend, it only costs in the way of foregone revenue l
